Ludogorets and Liverpool are playing live on the Champions League group schedule on Wednesdays and the game is on TV from Fox Sports 2 and streaming on the Fox Soccer 2Go website as the Reds play from Vasil Levski National Stadium in Sofia from Bulgaria and it starts at 2:45 pm ET and this matchup is huge for both teams, as they need wins to help advance to the next stage in the tournament.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been under fire this season and he has said that he knows this team can be better. Rodgers said that this game against Ludogorets is a chance for the Reds to turn things around and make it into the last 16. The team has been dealing with injuries and Daniel Sturridge has been out and Raheem Sterling has a lot of pressure on him to get things going.
Steven Gerrard may rest this matchup and it will be tough to play three games a week and now Liverpool comes in having lost six of the 12 Premier League games the team has played this season. The team has lost four in a row for the first time in a few years and they already have as many losses in the EPL now as they did last season and that has been very tough, as they nearly won the Premier League title last year for the first time in decades.
Liverpool comes into things at 12th on the English Premier League table and they have been struggling overall this season compared to last year. The team comes in after a couple tough results and while they have Mario Balotelli in, the team is very different compared to last year with Luis Suarez. Suarez was fantastic and he led the league in scoring and that has been a big issue for the team with him gone.
Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace in the last game out in the Premier League and that was tough and they also fell to Chelsea at Anfield. The team also lost against Newcastle on the road and before that they had a scoreless draw. The team won back in October against QPR and against West Brom, but since then the team has not played well and now they come in looking to bounce back.
Coming up the team has tough matchups with Arsenal and Manchester United and they will have to travel to Old Trafford for that game. The team also has some winnable games and they really need to start turning things around for any chance at getting into the top four. The top spot is almost impossible to get, as they are way back of Chelsea, who has yet to be defeated this season. The Blues are playing well and they currently lead the league in scoring.
